The Events portfolio incorporates an important Outreach function for Gecko by engaging the community in environmental activities and celebrations. The Events team coordinate and implement major Gecko event activities namely Clean Up Australia Day, World Environment Day, Gecko Awards and relevant minor activities. The team consists of a coordinator for the event and volunteer assistants as well as the relevant Board members.
Vision:

Goals for 2012:
